Jack Herer explains why hemp is the #1 Natural resource

[MaFettig]

Hemp has one enemy - investors - investors mae their money from sales - without sales, there would be less revenue - invetors need turnover - hemp denies turnover. Taxes are based on a turnover rate - and that is the base where our turnover is most needed.

[hYdRo723]

What the fuck does a chimp know about history. Do they ask the chimp who the first president is? Cmon, I bet if 12 humans took that SIMPLE test HIGH as fuck, they would still pass.

[mrarches]

Jack Herer explaining why weed is good,lol.

What next,' Ted Bundy explains why murdering people is cool ' ?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

The godfather of unhealthy living.

[carlonbass]

@MrMarijuanaKills so what is your argument against industrial hemp? let's say you're right about the negative health affects of marijuana; what does that have to do with industrial hemp? do you agree that it is the single most beneficial crop and should not be illegal?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@carlonbass disagree,hemp is rubbish

[carlonbass]

@MrMarijuanaKills i'm speechless. either you're a troll (most likely) or you're a bona fide idiot. i guess all cultures of mankind thought hemp was rubbish when they used it for EVERYTHING throughout history. i guess the u.s. gov. thought it was rubbish when they called on farmers to grow it to help win the war effort during WWII. i guess all scientific fact showing it to be the most beneficial crop on the planet is pure horse shit, and you are right. have fun trolling.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@carlonbass we have better alternative materials to hemp,hemp is shit.

[carlonbass]

@MrMarijuanaKills no we don't. shoot yourself.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@carlonbass why do u pot heads get so violent and threatening ?

why shoot myself,is that a pot heads answer to everything,violence ?

[carlonbass]

@MrMarijuanaKills lol i don't smoke pot. i like your character. he's quite an asshole. it's good to know such an asshole doesn't really exist. have fun, troll. :)

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@carlonbass its good to know you calmed down a bit.

[MisterBrostep]

@MrMarijuanaKills

troll trolling kid by calling him a troll. 0/10

[goldentreebe]

Barney Frank and Ron Paul have proposed legislation to end marijuana prohibition. Please call your senator and tell them you support hemp for food fuel shelter medicine!

[timthehippie]

I had the great pleasure of meeting Jack in the parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum in 1989(same year I met Timothy Leary @ the Jewish Community Center)

Gr8 men, both!

:o)

[Murua467]

I think this video is great and I completely agree with Mr. Herer. But, if anyone wants to se the biggest troll ever, look through the comments on this video for MrMarujuanaKills. Wow, what a tard...

[SUPerFreakUsa]

Never been a person die with marijuana being the primary cause .NEVER . You might think that certainly someone has gotten cancer from daily heavy smoking of marijuana .There isnt a single case .All studies on the subject seem to show that it actually PROTECTS against cancer . Google it, look it up . Im not to go so far as to say its good for you .Some have though. But to say it Kills is an absolute falsehood .Never in 10,000 years has a death been linked to its use .

[vmarti08]

Ok, I'm gonna roll a joint now.. Ur all welcome to join.. the rest of you can keep hating.. Oh and after you're done Hating just go kill yourselves fukn twats.

[randyroo2]

where is hemp actually banned? im pretty sure its legal here

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@madisonrecords ,your ' Way ' is the equivalent of walking through traffic with a blindfold on,' Dreamer '.

[thexyTrent]

@MrMarijuanakills yeah. smoking anything isnt really good for you. big tobacco especially. no one in history has died of smoking marijuana

[thexyTrent]

6:18 dumbledore lives

[MsCandyRockz]

What? There are no deaths due to marijuana! WTF is mrmarijuanakills talking about?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@MsCandyRockz the deaths are there,its just the fact weed is mostly illegal,these deaths are blamed on tobacco,they cant tell if weed or tobacco has caused the cancer as cancers are the same from marijuana and tobacco.

marijuana gives off the same carcinogens and tar as tobacco.

[jammingwithmarley]

@MrMarijuanaKills Marijuana is healthy. The chemicals used on tobacco while it's growing are what make smoking it carcinogenic.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@jammingwithmarley its the burning it that makes it give off tar and carcinogens idiot.

[thexyTrent]

@MrMarijuanaKills Get out of here you troll. The "tar" is what the politicians are calling THC because it's oily. It's not a fact, it's a stretch and twist of words. There are no carcinogens that you will get from it that you wouldn't get from any other plant. So, the answer is simple; vaporize. what now? no one is smoking it, no harm, besides this video is about how it would be as a RESOURCE. each plant is very different. the plants used for paper and oil and such wouldn't be very potent at all

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@thexyTrent ,exactly,the carcinogens you get from any plant,like ' tobacco ' .

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@barb0025 THE TORNADOES ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE CAUSED BY ALL THOSE MARIJUANA PLANTS BEING RIPPED UP.

Also all the green house gasses being created by weed growers who use vast amounts of energy keeping the plants heated.

[Bongofury361]

@barb0025 WTF do you mean, and why are you the highest rated comment? You are not making any sense!

[HempLogic]

Time for a new "Hemp for Victory" campaign. Hemp for victory over unemployment, victory over poverty, victory over poor nutrition and above all for victory over ignorance and corruption in our corporate-controlled government.

[JOHNLOPEZ420]

CALI PPL THANK ARONLD 4 SIGNING AND CHANGE OUR LAWS FIND A WAY TO THANK HIM REALLY

[mrarches]

Poor jack,hed still be alive today if it were not for weed smoking.

[lewiable]

@barb0025 i was just about to give you thumbs down thinking you were just another pro weed comment,but your comment makes sense, Tornadoes and wild storms probably has everything to do with all those trees they keep on cutting down.

[whitadow]

Who's the retard that gave this video a thumbs down.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@whitadow im not sure who was 1st to give it thumbs down but i just did too.

Your hero Jack Herer died relatively young,so much for the heathy mmarijuana smoking,lol.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills He died at 70 years old after suffering two heart attacks. What is your point?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 my point is jack herer died relatively young,marijuana smoking didnt seem to help him.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills Considering the maximum lifespan of a human being today is 114, I would say he was not relatively young but in his declining years. There are numerous other things that will have contributed to his death which may have nothing to do with the use of marijuana. If one does not maintain an healthy diet and smokes the stuff for instance, ones health will suffer anyway.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 true but herer could have lived another 5 years or so if he had not smoked pot.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills Are you a doctor or nutritionist or something? I don't think you are qualified to make that claim. Lets just say shit happened and leave at that ok?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 are u a doctor? no i dont think so,there is no doubt smoking anything,weed,tobacco etc shortens your life.

Even if you lived till 90,you could have lived another 5/10 years had you not smoked,leave it at that ok !

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills The point jack was fighting for and what most people including myself vouch for is the sheer fact that you should decide whether or not to use the stuff rather than have a nanny state do that for you. I am not a doctor and neither are you, clearly. I suppose people from the old tribes who smoked marijuana and other natural herbs had shortened life spans? Why don't you look into that then? You have been brainwashed into thinking a natural plant used for centuries is bad for you.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 poppies that make heroin are a natural plant idiot,tell me a plant that isnt natural then ?

metal to make knives and guns is a natural element taken from the ground,do we allow people to carry those because of your dumb reasons?

why does ' natural ' mean good ?

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills On the heroin claim, you do realize heroin is synthesized from morphine right? a derivative of opium? and morphine is still used for medical applications. Did the old civilsations use heroin? Of course not! Best get your facts right. If i choose to use heroin, it should be MY decision, not a nanny state. And focus, we are talking about plants not minerals, so your example is not even relevant to begin with. I never claimed all things natural is good, only of a natural plant: MJ

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 i basically agree,it should be your choice,but not your choice to force that shit onto others by legalization.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills The legalisation of Hemp, MJ is not a force for everyone to use it, only that it is no longer a crime to grow, possess or even consume it. I am not saying you should consume or use marijuana because it is evident that you are not a fan of it, however your stance is basically a force on people not to use it, which position is more denying?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001, If marijuana is legalized,that sends out a definite message that it must be ok to use,otherwise they wouldn't legalize it.

That would be all the excuse needed by a person ,who would usually leave it alone because of doubts about its safety or health /mental health problems.

Especially younger people,legalization would be a nightmare.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills I haven't heard of any case where anyone has died or fallen sick due to marijuana use. Your everyday over the shelf cigars and cigarettes on the other hand induces cancer, lung damage and ultimately death after prolonged use what kind of mesage is being said there? Why is that legal? Surely you realise nicotine-tar packed cigarettes are more dangerous than MJ, in turn being topped by alcohol right? Want to compare statistics?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 yes il compare,marijuana gives off more tar and carcinogens than tobacco,FACT !

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills True. But how many people have died through it's use?

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 actually you were talking about things being natural.

All plants are natural idiot,but a lot of plants can kill you if ingested.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills Somehow I am disappointed in your ability to have a conversation with the application of ad hominems within your statements. Without even going into semantics, I never claimed that ingesting MJ is safe, nor did I claim that plants are unnatural. All I said, in essence, was your conditioning into believing that the use of a natural plant; Marijuana, which has been used for centuries if not millenia is bad for you. Clearly, this is not the case. Thats all I said buddy.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 I am disappointed at your inability to have a conversation without unnecessarily ' flowering ' your sentences with unnecessary words.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills As unnecessary as your reliance on ad hominems in a conversation, clearly.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 AD HOMINEM AS IN WHERE? Where have i used ad hominem in my arguments ??

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills I can count at least 2 of your comments.

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 thousands die from marijuana use/smoking,it is a contributory factor in deaths.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills Hence my need to see a statistic confirming that. Claims and speculation won't cut it. ^^

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@bad4ever2001 the deaths of marijuana smokers confirm it.

your claims and speculation do not prove that its safe either.

[bad4ever2001]

@MrMarijuanaKills Again, I never claimed the use of MJ was safe nor did I speculate this. Either show me the statistics to back up your claim or i will disregard it. I just realised I never did ask you what your stance on conventional cigarettes was. You a fan of cigarettes then?

[carlonbass]

@MrMarijuanaKills he was also obese.

[lewiable]

@whitadow i also gave it thumbs down.

[whitadow]

@barb0025 Check out HAARP about that.

[obecean]

I smoked a joint with Jack once. I'll bet there a couple other hempsters out there who can say that ;)

[PeterL524]

excellent vid.

[sistersteel]

right on.. the movement continues and truth. Thank you Jack!

[iceditriumph]

rest in peace, Jack...

[LipStikMusik]

rip

[SolarEXtract]

RIP Jack Herer. You will be missed. May your strength and courage live on in all of your fellow activists around the world.

[bkindglassworks]

@ladivadivala Exactly. And you should know that eating is sometimes more beneficial than smoking. Raw THC is also an antioxidant!

[robiebmxrobie]

RIP Jack, you inspired many and we will all miss you greatly.

[SuperBenji420]

man R>I>P The Hemporer has died :( LEGALIZE IT!!!!

[industrialhemprocks]

research INDUSTRIAL HEMP!

[america4hemp]

farmers were ripped off thats why today there are 40 million LESS farmers because they were not aloud to have a crop that would compete with the natural resources OIL TIMBER COAL DUPONT face it every day in every life begins with a natural resource, when all the farmers could have supplied the industrial world with all its needs making a stronger richer more secure country after all it takes everybody to make a economy it has to begin with agriculture but they made that against the law !

[Goose0406]

@america4hemp... you could not be more right!! . when the gov't bans a PLANT and their main reason is to "make it easier for DEA to identify illegal marijuana growing operations", doesnt that show people that they are cutting corners just to make their over paid, unnecessary, jobs easier?? especially when the gov't also tells its people (during WWII) that growing hemp is good and makes you a patriot and hemp can win the war! . . . there is a word for that type of behavior; "HYPOCRITICAL"

[mrevera]

Oh yeah and it cures cancer too.

[MakaveliTheDon96]

i smoked some jack with a lab friend of mine, and he said he thought it might be a mix of northern lights/haze/skunk, but i wasnt sure, cuz jack def doesnt have any skunk smell/taste what so ever, any input?

[UltimateLinuxFans]

Oh wait, didn't he go to Europe with Rick Simpson? Yeah he did. I talked to Mr. Simpson on the phone, and he told me how he and Jack Herer were getting together. Hm, I wonder if he ever gave the oil a try or not. Well, nothing is proven to work 100% for everything. Not even cannabis. It is, how ever, the ONLY medicine that can do what it does. *Sigh* some day I plan on moving to Amsterdam, or somewheres like that, and make as much medical oil for people everywhere. Or at least I'd like to.

[lindawerner66]

He never made it to Europe, unfotunately. He had a massive heart attack in Portland on September 12th and is still recovering. This, after having a major stroke and heart attack in 2001.

[prairepup]

Jack is still with us.

[kingdiamond69]

We Just got word from someone who works with norml that Jack Herer suffered a heart attack tonight at portland hempstock hes on the operating table in portland undergoing angioplasty.

[UltimateLinuxFans]

Oh shit! Then someone, ANYONE, please tell him about "Run From The Cure". We all know that when you smoke it, it has no "healing" properties. Only when you take the THC oils from the plant raw and pure is when it does its magic. Please, someone tell him. We cannot loose him, NOT NOW!

[UltimateLinuxFans]

When is the government and industries going to admit the wrong in their SELFISHNESS

[estoboy29]

once we all stand up to them and take over to loving people like us

[fuckinloozas]

if any1 has smoked jack herer its fuckin bomb

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@fuckinloozas ,but look what happened to Herer,he died.

[fuckinloozas]

@MrMarijuanaKills ur a fag, ur gonna die to. but atleast jack dies high u asshole

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@fuckinloozas id never want to die high,even if weed was safe.

[fuckinloozas]

@MrMarijuanaKills if weed was safe? stfu tha only thing that is bad is that it leads to otha drugs

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@fuckinloozas at least u admit its a gateway to other drugs.

most pot smokers think that because it doesnt lead them to other drugs ,it cant lead anyone else to other drugs.

[RichardSpluge]

@MrMarijuanaKills What are you paid by the beer, chemical, or oil companies, or just a government stooge propaganda pusher?

Who pays you to do this as no one could be as stupid than the falsehoods you profess.

See all government departments get funding to stop hemp, & the politicians import it and the CIA, then sold for missiles money like they did for Iran Contra affair.

Just like freedom the truth will come out and your type of looser will be uncovered then you will pay

4 ur Crimes2 humanity

[RichardSpluge]

@MrMarijuanaKills what like being a cop stooge will make you live forever, that's lame saying Jack died he was old and old people die We all can't wait until it's your turn, shove your propaganda up your ignorant ass.

[jeremythejeepguy]

@fuckinloozas

i'm vaporizing it right now!!

[FantasmaBAnco]

lol @ "it lubricates your brain"!

[feartheduckman]

Hemp isn't illegal guys, it's only illegal for us to grow it. There are plenty of things made of hemp that we have already been using.

[eyesoverskies]

why wait so long? it will much too late by then. for many other rights that have been taken from us as well

[eyesoverskies]

hemp used for cordage has no or little THC. ie ditch weed. but you can still use thc hemp for cordage.

if we would just gain our backbone and take back our cuontry, we could use ANY type of hemp for ANY REASON! simply because we DO HAVE RIGHTS.

we let em take them from us.

GET EM BACK!

[TjCox1993]

Hemp is NOT marijuana, making it even more ridiculous as to why it's illegal! All because of political propaganda to protect timber investments and peoples interest in selfish wealth.

[eulinio]

dont be confused hemp is NOT marijuana

[pkFPM]

It is both Cannabis.

[qnbs7]

@eulinio hemp and "marijuana" are the same thing... but usually people talk of hemp (or industrial hemp) meaning the low-thc varieties but it is the same... it's all cannabis

[america4hemp]

this video rocks !! america's hero tells it like it is !! america4hemp

[tintala]

there is another video that pertains to this perfectly! ITs called ;

I WANT MY FATHER BACK, about indian farmers suicides, due to DUPONTS chemicals for growing cotton. 3000 farmer have killed themsleves in the name of duponts , BT COTTON.

[Nebzz]

Hemp lubricates your brains.

Show of hands, who thinks most of these people want it legalized JUST so they can smoke it?

[kgfz]

We can just smoke it while its illegal. What we can't do is stop destroying forests, create biofuel, food, cure sickness and treat cancer on a massive level.

But hey if society is stupid enough to reject all this benefits, I'll just smoke some and see Rome burn.

[DaveIrie]

'Hemp lubricates your brains' - source?

[DaveIrie]

Okay nevermind it's in the video.

[eulinio]

hemp is NOT maijuana

[pkFPM]

Hemp is the plant.

Marijuana is the dried bud (containing psychotropic cannabinoids).

[Goose0406]

@pkFPM yes, 'hemp' is generally the male plants and the pollinated female plants. after the males perform their task of pollinating the pretty ladies, the males then start to wilt. the females will then start to produce seeds instead of flowers/bud. flowers/bud come from the UN-pollinated "virgin" females.

[mlbirdinground]

@pkFPM Your a dumbass! Marijuana is another species. Do some research!

[qnbs7]

@mlbirdinground "Marijuana" is not another species than Cannabis Hemp. There are varieties of Hemp with very low THC (main psychoactive compound) and very high CBD (Cannabidiol) in it. These are generally refered to as "Industrial hemp" - I recommend reading "Hemp for health: the medicinal and nutritional uses of Cannabis sativa" by Chris Conrad

[qnbs7]

@mlbirdinground "Marijuana" is not even a regular term but as a word a historical deception from the Cannabis Hemp plant - additionally a ad hominem attack is not very nice :)

[qnbs7]

@mlbirdinground the research: Cannabidiol (non-psychoactive compound in hemp) is a stereo-isomer of THC which can be converted to Tetrahydrocannabinol by a process called "isomerisation" and maybe that is one of the reason your federal government won't allow "drug-free" hemp

[jerridrogers]

@mlbirdinground you dumbasss no the fuck it isnt!!!! marijuana is a slang term u fucking inbred piece of shit....cannabis is either sative or indica or a hybrid its all cannabis!! do ur research u fucktard

[mlbirdinground]

@jerridrogers Way to jump on the band wagon. Your a real original style motherfucker huh? Its spelled S-a-t-i-v-a you fucking pilgrim.

[jerridrogers]

@mlbirdinground oh your gonna talk shit cuz i typo-ed nigger go fuck your grandma you stupid selfish piece of shit no wonder your daddy dont want you go hang yourself nobody cares for real go jump in front of a car something i dont give a fuck go to a spelling bee and fall off the god damned stage and break your neck just please do society a favor and DIE dont live no longer nobody will benefit from your lousy existence okay thank you have a great day you purple headed yogurt slinger

[mlbirdinground]

@jerridrogers WOW........you need a joint or something dood. Are you on METH or something?

[jerridrogers]

@mlbirdinground great cum back if i wanted any cum back i'd scrape it off your nasty ass teeth so quit fighting withsomeone on YOUTUBE and go screw your poppy u fucktard

[mlbirdinground]

@jerridrogers Yup....METH.....Your having a METH RAGE!

[llK1NGp1Nll]

yes but marijuana is a type of hemp that is smokable and psychoactive, why do i have to be the only one that gets the reply right?

[geiuy]

sure,cuz nobody smokes it now that it's illegal right?

[SpreadingAwareness]

me likes weed

[buttonsputon]

VOTE HEMP alongside MEDICINAL CANNABIS use for health liberty and economy!

[IYANDIY]

it is the bloody sun! hence why venus and mercury are heating up too!

and the IPCC has scientists on its roster who never even gave their permission for their names to be used on it, and many do not believe the CO2 theory, set forth by carbon credit collector al gore. many other names on the IPCC roster are barely scientists.

global warming is a scam. search 'john coleman' to hear it from someone more qualified.

[IYANDIY]

arhhh jack herer, im glad to see hes wearing clothes...

[suffie63]

The truth MUST BE TOLD !

Back to the Hemp society that lasts.

Forget the Oil an cotton society !

Peace !

[MrMarijuanaKills]

@suffie63 yes the truth,MARIJUANA KILLS !

[lathzz]

Sludgefiend; I did not say it was ONLY the sun doing it. Just that people arent the only main culprit. With more and more ice melting there is that much less radiation being reflected out to space so it would mkae sense that water surface temps increase and the lower atm. temps increase. Climate change is undoubtedly caused by a number of factors. Im just saying that our "leaders" focus on just human factors is misleading and potetially dangerous to our future freedoms.

[lcuttill]

As far a I am concerned the federal government is NOT part of the United States. We live in the most UN-United States. Maybe we should write our congress pawns and Charge them with conspiracy for if they know of a crime and they do nothing about it. I don't know is it a crime to lie and intentionally miss lead congress Here is why they are pawns. They didn't review the evidence did no research for the truth. The land of the Free what a joke Land of the Greed more like it

[lcuttill]

I feel that everyone should boycott dupont the best way you can. Do you figure DEA still getting money form them. If the people vote and it is decided that the American people want Medical Marijuana and the DEA refuses to comply they are NOT thinking of the best interest of the citizens who VOTED. Hello!! WTF

[lathzz]

California voted and decided Yes on medi Canna but the Fed Gov. continues to arrest people and take down dispensaries. You are right. Our "leaders" do not hold our best interests in mind and should be HANGED for treason. All of them. Problem is that the majority of Americans are sheep. They will believe the world is flat if Dick Cheney says its so.

[6evil6betty6]

the reason hemp is banned is the polititions have nasty plans for us, we who use t.h.c are called paranoid...hemp could save the world and it would be a great help to slow down the so called global warming scam that is really just another way to tax us.the government know but dont want to put the oil and paper barons out of fashion as the back handers would stop...save the world...grow more hemp/and plenty of skunk..

[lathzz]

Global Warming IS a "scam" in that we are led to believe that human activity is the only main contributer to the problem. There is mounting evidence that the Sun itself is being influenced by a yet unseen force(gravity signature). The Sun is now heating up when it should be cooling a bit according to historical cycles.

[6evil6betty6]

maybe its nibiru lol, or maybe the weed is making me paranoid again..

[ishtrice]

think nibiru is true? hmm i dunno wha to think

[sxxxxv]

Cannabis and humans relate perfectly.

[Richey716]

yes sir

[bendroz]

hemps the shit!
